Garrapata Coastline - A California Art Club Exhibit Painting



The Central California Coastline is a heavenly masterpiece that is one of California's gem-like attractions.   The weather changes and the mood changes, but it is always beautiful.

This is another painting from my summer trip with our niece up the California coast toward Monterey!!

I worked hard to capture the color and mood in this scene and was excited to find out that my painting will be in the upcoming California Art Club Exhibit at the Altadena Town and Country Club. The other good news was that the other painting I created to submit for this show was purchased before the show opens.  It was a great way to ring out the 2011 year!

Sold before the show opens- just about the best statement a painter can say! Well deserved, and lovely painting!

Wow, Marian, congratulations on the sale and the exhibit! Looking at all the goals you met for yourself last year, I'd say 2011 was a great year of growth (which all of us hope for). You should be very proud of your accomplishments. I can see a huge amount of growth in your work which is really cool to be witness to. With your dedication and hard work I'm positive that you will achieve even greater heights in 2012. Happy new year, I can't wait to see where you go from here!

Hi Marian,
Way to go on not only the sale before the show but also for getting this beauty into the second show at the ACC. Love it! That place is such a lovely venue to have an art show at.

I wanted to enter something into this show but had other things going on so hopefully next time! You are really doing some very nice work Marian. Everytime I see what you are up to I just smile...Congratulations again on your sale Marian!!
